I would try to through bolt it to the beam. Yes, sounds painful but can be done with some patience. I did that recently.

phill veteran Registered: 06/18/01 Posts: 1247 Loc: Central Coast NSW Australia	I normally bolt my traveler to just the top of my rear beam. Takes a batten,tape, spanner ,cordless screw driver, a helper, (or some real long arms) and of course a bit of patience. Monel rivets are much quicker and time is probably going to be an issue. Hope they get it sorted in time. Regards, Phill Edited by phill (08/12/08 03:45 AM) _________________________ I know that the voices in my head aint real, but they have some pretty good ideas.

Rolf_Nilsen Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/15/03 Posts: 4343 Loc: West coast of Norway	Last day today, and the pics on the webcam looks reasonable. No surfers there today, perhaps a good sign. http://www.gowerlive.co.uk/langlandwebcam.php Hope all the breakages are under control and that people are not too beaten up after yesterday. A shame that Georgina and Chris did not get to do even one race with their Viper.

I'm not sailing as I've got some sort of bug and I have to be carefull. Hans is off the water and packing up as he needs to catch the ferry tonight. Most are still out racing. _________________________ F16 - GBR 553 - SOLD I also talk sport here

Jalani veteran Registered: 02/25/05 Posts: 1382 Loc: Essex, UK	What a fantastic event! What a fantastic team at Mumbles! I said it at the time, and John P said it at the prizegiving, the level of effort and the slickness of organisation by the MYC volunteers was truly amazing! A sincere thank you from all the competitors for a really memorable 2008 GC. _________________________ John Alani ___________ Stealth F16s GBR527 and GBR538
